Quotes:
"With athletes, what is not considered is how much faster their metabolism is compared to someone who doesn’t exercise…someone who has exercised, has a metabolism running much slower." -Jenna
"More snacks!" -AJ
"With all the athletes I have worked with, maybe 5-10% are meeting their carbohydrate needs." -Jenna
"Even in ultra endurance athletes who are highly conditioned to tolerate protein as an energy source, you are really only getting 6-12% from calories from protein itself…Where you are getting your energy truly is from carbs and fats."
"You really have to prepare your gut for that much carb [90g/hr]."
"A true clinician is at most an emphasizer of what the client already knows to be true for themselves. When you can remove your biases and say, “This isn’t the way I would do this, but I support you in this.” What you really find is something that is sustaining lifelong for them." -Jenna
